The article says that an annulment may be granted if:
• One or both may have been suffering from some kind of psychological incapacity at the time.
Is this a well defined condition, or is it somewhat nebulous and flexible to the extent that almost anyone could claim such?

The Church requires proof in the form of counseling reports, medical records, arrest reports, etc. The Tribunal may also require one or both spouses be interviewed in person and require one or both to have one or more sessions with a psychologist of the Tribunal’s choosing.

Thank you so much for posting this article. DH went through the nullity process a couple of years back. (We were married civilly just after he began the process; we knew that the case was extremely strong and that it was unlikely they would find the marriage valid. We have been sacramentally married for 2 years and civilly married for almost 4.) At the time, we understood very little about what the process entailed. I’m involved in some nullity support groups on CAF specifically to help guide people through the process and help them to understand what’s involved, because there was so little information available when we went through it. (Even my parents’ parish priest didn’t fully understand the process involved!) I’m so thankful that there is more information available regarding exactly what happens during a nullity trial - I think it really helps to clear up misinformation and concerns.
